You are required to undergo a breath screening test when requested by:
- A.
An ambulance officer
- B.
A doctor
- C.
A member of the public
- D.
A police officer
Correct Answer
D. A police officerExplanation
In many jurisdictions, police officers have the authority to request a breath screening test to determine if a person is driving under the influence of alcohol. This is because driving under the influence poses a significant risk to public safety. Breath screening tests are a quick and non-invasive way to measure a person's blood alcohol concentration. By allowing police officers to conduct these tests, it helps enforce laws against drunk driving and protect the welfare of the general public.Rate this question:

If you intend to move your vehicle from the right-hand lane to the left-hand lane, you must:
- A.
Move to the left as quickly as possible
- B.
Speed up and signal as you move to the left
- C.
Signal for at least 3 seconds before moving left
- D.
Slow down and signal as you move to the left
Correct Answer
C. Signal for at least 3 seconds before moving leftExplanation
When intending to move from the right-hand lane to the left-hand lane, it is necessary to signal for at least 3 seconds before making the move. Signaling in advance allows other drivers to be aware of your intention and adjust their driving accordingly, reducing the risk of collisions. This gives drivers in the left-hand lane enough time to anticipate your movement and make space for you to merge safely.

- A.
Park lights on
- B.
Headlights on dip
- C.
Headlights on high beam
- D.
Hazard lights on
Correct Answer
B. Headlights on dipExplanation
When driving in fog, it is important to have your headlights on dip. This is because the low beam setting helps to illuminate the road directly in front of your vehicle without creating a glare that can reflect off the fog and impair visibility even further. It also allows other drivers to see your vehicle without being blinded by the headlights. Using high beams or hazard lights can actually worsen visibility in foggy conditions.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. A police officer on point dutyExplanation
When driving at night with your vehicle headlights on high beam, it is necessary to dip them when coming up to a police officer on point duty. This is because the bright lights can blind the officer and obstruct their vision, which could potentially compromise their ability to direct traffic safely. Dipping the headlights in this situation ensures that the officer can clearly see and control the flow of vehicles without any hindrance.Rate this question:

To help you from being blinded by the headlights of an oncoming vehicle, you should:
- A.
Look to the left-hand side of the road
- B.
Look to the right-hand side of the road
- C.
Look to the centre of the road
- D.
Turn the headlights of your vehicle onto a high beam
Correct Answer

Correct Answer
B. Slow down and give them as much room as you canExplanation
When passing a horse and rider, it is important to slow down and give them as much room as possible. Horses can be easily startled by loud noises, so sounding the horn on your vehicle or turning on your headlights may startle the horse and potentially cause an accident. By slowing down and giving them space, you reduce the risk of spooking the horse and ensure the safety of both the rider and yourself.Rate this question:

- C.
Following other vehicles
- D.
Driving in the country
Correct Answer
C. Following other vehiclesExplanation
It is important to dip the headlights on your vehicle when following other vehicles at night to avoid blinding the driver in front. Dipping the headlights means adjusting them to a lower beam setting, which reduces the intensity of the light and prevents it from directly shining into the eyes of the driver ahead. This ensures clear visibility for both drivers and reduces the risk of accidents caused by glare.Rate this question:

D. A mopedExplanation
A moped can be driven on a car licence because it is a small, low-powered vehicle that falls within the restrictions of a car licence. Mopeds typically have an engine size of 50cc or less and a top speed of 30mph or less. They are designed for short-distance travel and are considered safer and easier to handle compared to motorcycles or larger vehicles. Therefore, individuals with a car licence are allowed to drive a moped without obtaining an additional licence or endorsement.Rate this question:

Adjust your speed to suit the conditions
- D.

C. Adjust your speed to suit the conditionsExplanation
When following a vehicle on a dusty metal (gravel) road, it is important to adjust your speed to suit the conditions. This is because driving at a high speed can create a dust cloud, which can impair your visibility and the visibility of other drivers. By slowing down, you can maintain better control of your vehicle and reduce the risk of accidents. Additionally, adjusting your speed allows you to have more time to react to any unexpected obstacles or hazards on the road.Rate this question:

By doing so, you improve your visibility and reduce the risk of blinding other drivers. This is a safety measure that helps you navigate through foggy conditions more effectively.Rate this question:

The 2-second rule should be used when following other vehicles at the same speed. This rule helps to maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. By keeping a minimum of 2 seconds of following distance, you allow yourself enough time to react and stop in case the vehicle ahead suddenly brakes or encounters any other unexpected situation. This rule is especially important in situations where there may be limited visibility or adverse weather conditions, as it provides an additional safety buffer.Rate this question:

When coming up to a pedestrian crossing, it is important to slow down and be ready to stop for pedestrians. This is because pedestrian crossings are designated areas where pedestrians have the right of way, and it is crucial to prioritize their safety. By slowing down and being prepared to stop, drivers can ensure that they have enough time to react if pedestrians start crossing the road. This helps to prevent accidents and promotes a safer environment for both drivers and pedestrians.Rate this question:
